The City of Calgary Recreation is renovating and expanding Canyon Meadows Aquatic & Fitness Centre. The facility is more than 40 years old and redevelopment will help revitalize this important community hub while increasing the diversity of programming and fitness opportunities available.

Renovations include

expanded lobby and entrance area

larger weight room and dedicated fitness studio

new fitness equipment

larger multipurpose room

addition of an elevator and poolside lift for increased accessibility

new pool slide

new diving board

reconstructed hot tub and steam room areas

refreshed locker rooms

new tiling and paint

Weight Room and Fitness Studio

Currently, the facility has a shared space for fitness programming and weight training. This limits class sizes for registered programs and can be distracting for program participants and weight users alike. Designs for the new, extended second level include a larger weight room and dedicated fitness studio, creating more privacy and minimizing disruption to other users. Larger spaces also provide more opportunities for facility goers to participate.

Questions and Answers

Opened in 1972, Canyon Meadows Aquatic & Fitness Centre has been serving the neighbouring community for more than 40 years. New and improved space and amenities will ensure the facility continues to provide value for Calgarians through a diversity of programming and fitness opportunities.

We understand the impact that a temporary closure has on the community and ask for your patience as we work to complete the project in a timely and cost-effective way.

Recreation and its Consultants considered options to minimize the duration of the closure and/or allow for some continued programming. However, the extent of the renovations, which impact the fitness and pool areas, as well as limit access to the building mean a partial closure is not possible. Staff are working to devise parallel programming at neighbouring City facilities.
